Speculations are rife once more about the release date of Yellowstone season 5 part 2. The fifth season of the show, which premiered on November 13, 2022, was planned to be a two-part season. The first part reached its end on January 1, 2023, and with no official information about the second part, fans are getting impatient.

What is the speculated date of release of Yellowstone season 5 part 2?

While the production house is tight-lipped about the release of Yellowstone season 5 part 2, Deadline reported in May that the second part was likely to drop in November 2023. Since the fifth part was to be presented in two parts and the first part had seven episodes, it can be guessed that the second part may also have seven episodes.

While it will be almost a year after the first part, the second part is also delayed due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. The filming for Yellowstone season 5 part 2 was supposed to start in the summer, but the strikes have put a halt to the process. Fans will most likely need to wait for the strikes to get resolved before filming of the season is completed.

Plot and cast for Yellowstone season 5 part 2 explored

The fifth season had a lot going on in it, but fans have only tasted half of the season in the form of the first part of the series. Since filming of the second part of the show has not concluded, even the cast does not know what is supposed to come next.

In an interview with Extra, Kevin Costner said that he didn’t want John Dutton’s character to die, a scenario that may come to pass in the second half of the season. Costner also hinted at a lot of work that his character will need to do during the season, including defending against many attacks.

The plot for the second part of season 5 may also focus on Rip’s evolving relationship with Carter, as they have developed an acceptance of each other in the first part. Their connection is set to receive more attention in Yellowstone season 5 part 2.
